how to search inside functions definition

[Camille Bourgoin]

Hello,

I want to list all the primitive functions in Emacs with a search
within their definitions. But I don't know how to do this.

I search a function in Emacs Wiki, Google etc. nothing.

any idea ?

thank you

P.S. : and excuse me for my poor english ...

Sorry, I'm not clear on what you want. Could you say it in a different way.
French is OK (for me) too. Just what is it that you are searching (the Web?
code examples? Emacs-Lisp source code? Emacs doc?), and just what are you
searching it for (names of primitive functions, I guess)?

Two ways:

	C-h a search RET

or

	C-h <f3> search

The latter, info-apropos, searches in the installed (tex)info files,  
i.e. in the extra documentation for GNU Emacs.

I wonder if this is what you want:

    (let ((funcs '()))
      (mapatoms (lambda (a)
                  (if (and (fboundp a)
                           (subrp (symbol-function a)))
                      (setq funcs (cons a funcs)))))
       funcs)

Like most people, I would like to use the words ''parameters''
and ''behoove'' in the same sentence, but I am not sure how.

apropos search in the name of the functions. I want to search within
their definitions.

If I search "built-in", I want to find, for exemple :

-------
* is a built-in function.
(* &rest NUMBERS-OR-MARKERS)

Returns product of any number of arguments, which are numbers or
markers.
-------

C-h f3 is for info-apropos ? I don't have this function, is this a
emacs 22 function ? I use the 21 ...

Have you tried to click on a found function?

Yes ! it seems to be good, there is the result (very long) :

(read load-average delete-window internal-lisp-face-attribute-values
minibuffer-depth search-backward-regexp identity bobp command-execute
user-full-name next-single-char-property-change set-time-zone-rule
quit-process process-contact % directory-files nlistp copy-marker
terminal-coding-system * + downcase image-size - buffer-base-buffer
type-of / eobp overlay-get skip-chars-forward frame-char-width < = >
get internal-set-font-selection-order kill-buffer continue-process

... etc ... etc ... etc ... etc ...

process-command x-open-connection region-beginning encode-big5-char
generic-character-list plist-put while elt invocation-directory
widget-apply line-end-position)

thank you :)


i'm going to examinate the code in order to understood what it does ;)

I want to list all the primitive (built-in) functions, like "car" or
"*", of Emacs in order to create a Emacs LISP quick reference card with
the main functions of emacs lisp ( and maybe plus some useful
non-primitive functions).

Are you really sure you want to list built-in functions written in C? 
Are not most of the functions you actually use when you program in Emacs 
lisp written in Emacs lisp?
